This was not a judgment made by others for them because of their actions, and the two men themselves thought so, and even said similar things more than once. For example, Zhang Mao likes to say that he is the maverick pig written by Wang Xiaobo, "What about pigs, you are not as thoughtful as a pig!" ā
Jiang Wenzi was not originally called Jiang Wenzi, but Jiang Wencai, and from his name, you can also see what the Jiang family's ardent expectations are for him, study hard and make progress every day! But Jiang Wenzi is not such a person. It is undeniable that Jiang Wenzi is a talented person, but this talent has not been brought into play in studying, he is very smart and likes to read, but there is a problem, it is easy to be nervous in an exam, so when he is studying, all teachers and classmates know that Jiang Wenzi studies well, and also knows that Jiang Wenzi never fails to take exams.
His parents knew that their child usually studied well, but he just couldn't do well in the exam, so they began to take him around to see a doctor half a year before the college entrance examination, from a psychiatrist to a psychiatrist, but they all decided that it was a psychological problem that could only be adjusted by themselves, and there was no way to adjust it through medical means.
In the end, Jiang Wenzi went to a lesser-known local university, which was expected, and his parents even thought that he was extremely lucky to be able to be admitted to university.
Jiang Wenzi met Zhang Mao in college, and Zhang Mao went to this university because of the blessing of his rich father in the family, who dredged up some relationships for him. Zhang Mao's personality is very eccentric, he has never been very likable, the family environment itself is very complicated, and the situation at home is very embarrassing, so although his father is his own father, it is no different from nothing, otherwise he would not have been sent to an unknown small school thousands of miles away, and Zhang Mao's only roommate is Jiang Wenzi - the two people study different majors, Jiang Wenzi is studying Chinese as a foreign language, Zhang Mao is studying marketing, and it just so happens that there is one more boy in the two people's respective classes, and there is only one more person between the two people, four-person room, six-person room, how to arrange it is not suitable, the leaders discussed, and the two of them were together.
It's also strange to say, Zhang Mao and Jiang Wenzi both have strange personalities, but they are actually not bad in a dormitory. Maybe a man's friendship is easier to establish than a woman's friendship, and it just so happens that two people have such a coincidental hobby, watching movies. One day, Zhang Mao took more than a dozen movie tickets and said to Jiang Wenzi that he wanted to invite Jiang Wenzi together, and when he finished watching them all on the weekend, Jiang Wenzi decided to treat Zhang Mao as his best partner.
Zhang Mao and Jiang Wenzi, the pair of friends, entered the entertainment industry in the end, and since then they have started a legend, and now they have become a legend in the film industry, more than ten years ago, when Qu Huizhi was not in prison and was in the limelight, one day he went to various universities on a whim to squat to see if he could find good seedlings.
This is how Zhang Mao and Jiang Wenzi entered Qu Huizhi's eyes.
It stands to reason that both of them were young people in their twenties at the time, and they didn't know what Qu Huizhi was squatting in his school with a torn cotton jacket for, so he was taken by the hot director at the time. According to Qu Huizhi himself, the two of them should have just come back from watching a movie, and they happened to be watching Qu Huizhi's movie. The two of them chatted while walking, gave Qu Huizhi a good criticism, summarized the central idea, and drew the key points.
Qu Huizhi, your propaganda is too bad! Can you die if you find a better movie promotion company?
Qu Huizhi is a good friend whether he writes scripts or films, but he doesn't understand film marketing. has always been entrusted to a professional company, and he has always felt that it is still good, there are not many movies that are both popular and applauded these years, can it be done to this extent, Qu Huizhi feels that these two children are ...... It's a bit rushing.
Immediately, Qu Huizhi decided to rub the sharpness of the two of them, and then blocked the two children on the street and talked to them about this problem.
Zhang Mao's father gave him four years of tuition and living expenses at one time when he was in college, in the name of exercising his self-care ability, but in fact, he didn't want Zhang Mao to always call him or go home to ask for money. Zhang Mao is also as good as a stream, he didn't even keep the tuition fee for that money, so he invested it himself, and he made it in less than half a year, and it happened to be the work of artist agency, in Zhang Mao's understanding, Qu Huizhi is very good at making movies, but he is only very good at making movies.
Picking small actors, directing group performances on the spot, etc., in Zhang Mao's view, it shouldn't be Qu Huizhi's thing at all, but Qu Huizhi took it all by himself, not because Qu Huizhi wanted to do this, but because others couldn't do it well, no matter how many assistant directors were changed, they couldn't meet Qu Huizhi's requirements.
The three of them were in the private room of the small restaurant next to the school, and Zhang Mao slapped the beer bottle on the table, "You waste all your time on this kind of thing, sooner or later, you will collapse yourself, what is this called?" It's called putting the cart before the horse! You can pick actors, but you can't find someone to do the work, which means that you have a problem with your vision, and the problem is big! ā
Jiang Wenzi couldn't hold Zhang Mao's good spray at that time, because Zhang Mao couldn't drink alcohol, half a bottle of beer, and then he was drunk and talking nonsense...... The final consequence was that Qu Huizhi was really interested in Zhang Mao, and he was not afraid, so he directly pulled Zhang Mao into his own group and threw him into the assistant director group.
It's kind of ridiculous and a little incredible to say now, but at the time...... Well, it's actually quite ridiculous, at that time, the media had a lot of hype, which made Qu Huizhi tired, and finally Jiang Wenzi, who joined the group with Zhang Mao, opened his mouth to deal with these things for Qu Huizhi.
It wasn't until later that Jiang Wenzi told Qu Huizhi that this was just a small means of propaganda. At that time, it coincided with the boom period of economic development, blindly promoting positive energy and feelings, which was no longer enough for the promotion of the movie, and it was necessary to use some harmless means: for example, Zhang Mao entered the group as an assistant director, and it was worth using it to change roles in a big way.
Such a method is not light, not heavy, but it is really very useful. Jiang Wenzi said to Qu Huizhi: "You put one hundred and twenty hearts, I am a beautiful boy with five stresses and four stresses, I will never do anything that crosses the line, even if it is a trick, it will not hurt anyone." ā
The direct consequence of this incident is that after the movie was filmed, Qu Huizhi directly brought Zhang Mao and Jiang Wenzi under his command and became his royal assistant director and queen propagandist. And the movie that Qu Huizhi made at that time was also the only one among the movies whose quality was the same as the previous work, but the box office was twice as much.
Later, Zhang Mao and Jiang Wenzi became famous, and Jiang Wenzi, who was still called Jiang Wencai at the time, changed his name and started his own studio, just him and Zhang Mao. In Zhang Mao's words, there are not many people, we just use our brains to hand over to others how to do it.
Zhang Mao, who has a flamboyant personality, and Jiang Wenzi, who is calm and steady, these two people opened Qu Huizhi's golden age together, but it didn't take long for Qu Huizhi to be imprisoned for murder, and Qu Huizhi was left with only a teenage son. Zhang Mao and Jiang Wenzi were not short of work, but the two of them didn't do anything, just played with Qu Xiaofei for a few days, and then went to other places, and disappeared for more than ten years.
Until now.
What Xiao Liangjing knows, Zhang Mao's latest news is that he runs around the world with a camera on his back, travels and takes pictures, and relying on photography alone, it seems to have opened up a new world. And Jiang Wenzi went home to find an ordinary job, a few days after getting married, the family took his father-in-law and mother-in-law out on a trip together, and by the way, he contacted the feelings, but the driver of the car was tired and drove in a car accident, a car of forty-two people, and in the end only seven people survived, Jiang Wenzi's parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the newlywed wife who was married for less than a week, were all killed in the car accident.
Since then, Jiang Wenzi felt that life was boring and went to the temple to become a monk.
So it's no wonder that Xiao Liangjing feels strange, now these two people are also middle-aged people in their forties, not to mention being dug back by the high ban, and they want to fight against this impetuous era together with Qu Huizhi, Xiao Liangjing admires, but he is also entangled.
Gao Ban explained to Xiao Liangjing: "Now that the entertainment industry is so developed, it's not that they have to be, it's that Director Qu wants to use the two of them, saying that he cooperated with the two of them before he was imprisoned, and he has been used to it for several years." ā
Xiao Liangjing frowned: "But Qu has been in prison for more than ten years, and these two people have left their original circle for so long...... Ah Ban, it's not that I don't believe them, you also know that the entertainment industry is so developed now, I'm worried about ......"
Gao Ban interrupted Xiao Liangjing's words: "Liangjing, you don't have to worry, I said, with me, you don't have to worry about everything." I know all the things you're worried about, so I'm definitely not going to let those things happen. There is an agreement between me and Director Qu, and I have also learned about Mr. Zhang Mao and Mr. Jiang Wenzi, Zhang Mao's level will not deteriorate because more than ten years have passed, but will become more and more mature, otherwise he would not have left such a circle for so long, and there are so many insiders who are sought after. As for Jiang Wenzi...... Now all the hype and publicity, how many public relations companies, have to shout grandpa people, there is nothing to worry about. ā
Xiao Liangjing bit his lip and thought about it: "What you said is right, I understand everything, but hearing you say this, I still feel a lot more relieved." But then again, where the hell did you get them back, haven't they all been gone for so long? ā
Gao Ban thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I didn't do this matter, it was Director Qu who asked Xiaofei to do it." ā
